The BISSELL Pet Foundation's "Empty the Shelters" summer event will run from July 6-31 at shelters in Missouri, Illinois and dozens of other states.

Avalanche 2023-24 schedule released: Colorado starts season on the road

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:05:55 GMT

For the first time in six years, the Avalanche will begin an NHL season away from home.The Avs will start the 2023-24 campaign on a three-game West Coast road swing, with opening night Oct. 11 (8 p.m. MT) at the Los Angeles Kings, followed by games in San Jose and Seattle.That means an early return to the hostile environment where Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar faced boos for the first time in his life during the 2022 playoffs. The Kraken eliminated the Avs in seven games.What jumps out to me more than the opener in L.A. is how early the #Avs revisit Seattle. I imagine that’s not enough time for Kraken fans to forget to boo Cale Makar. pic.twitter.com/HgXqiWjrFc— Bennett Durando (@BennettDurando) June 27, 2023Colorado’s home opener is Oct. 19 (8:30 p.m. MT) vs. Chicago, making this the second consecutive season the Blackhawks have been the Avalanche’s opponent on opening night at Ball Arena. This time, Connor Bedard is likely to be part of the proceedings, assumin...

Haley says Trump did ‘too little’ about China threats, warns of global conflict if Ukraine falls

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:05:55 GMT

By MEG KINNARD (Associated Press)COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday criticized former President Donald Trump for being too friendly to China during his time in office, while also warning that weak support for Ukraine would “only encourage” China to invade Taiwan. Haley, a Republican presidential candidate running against Trump, said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute that Trump was “almost singularly focused” on the U.S.-China trade relationship but ultimately did “too little about the rest of the Chinese threat.”Specifically, Haley noted that Trump failed to rally U.S. allies “against the Chinese threat” and that he had congratulated Chinese President Xi Jinping on the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule in China.“That sends a wrong message to the world,” Haley said. “Chinese communism must be condemned, never congratulated.”Haley’s comme...
